Under the latest production regulations of the Consorzio Valpolicella, the “Riserva” designation may be awarded to an Amarone with a minimum ageing period of four years starting from 1 November of the harvest year and with a non-reducing extract content of not less than 32 g\/l, varying by vintage.<\/p>\n
All Corteforte Amarones have always enjoyed a much longer ageing and refinement, as well as higher extract levels than those currently required for “Riserva”.<\/p>\n
Although it produces other Amarones that meet the “Riserva” requirements, Corteforte has chosen to apply for this certification and to use the designation for only one of its products.<\/p>\n
As per tradition, the best bunches are selected and picked at the right point of ripeness; this is followed by at least 36 months of ageing in barrel and 18 months of refinement in bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
